Perlick appliances: review and lineup

Perlick, with a Milwaukee, Wisconsin address, is known for commercial-grade, all-stainless undercounter refrigeration, beverage centers and beer dispensers. Where luxury kitchen brands design undercounter units to disappear behind panels, Perlick builds them like bar equipment, which is exactly why entertainers seek it out.
Two Perlick Signature Series lines are in our database. The Signature 24-inch refrigerator drawers (about $5,386 to $5,700) hold 5.2 cu ft across two stainless drawers on full-extension ball-bearing glides, with a 33 to 42°F range and room for 144 twelve-ounce cans. A variable-speed compressor, selectable white or cool-blue LED lighting and a door-ajar alarm are included; the DL version adds a factory lock. The Signature 24-inch beverage center (about $4,920) also holds 5.2 cu ft, with two full-extension wine racks for 16 bottles, a general shelf for 62 cans and a 33 to 48°F range. Its door converts from stainless to wood overlay, and you can choose solid or glass, stainless or panel-ready.
Perlick's warranty rewards registration: 3 years parts and labor if you register within 90 days (2 years otherwise), and sealed-system parts coverage to 6 years on undercounter units. Some retailers shorten that to "6 years," which is the sealed-system term only.
Who should shop Perlick: home bars, entertainers and anyone who wants rugged, all-stainless undercounter refrigeration. Who should skip it: buyers who want app control (neither model lists Wi-Fi) or a matching panel-ready suite from one brand; Sub-Zero offers Designer refrigerator drawers and a Designer beverage center with app connectivity. True Residential is the other commercial-heritage choice.

The Perlick Signature 24-inch beverage center (HP24BS) is the one to buy if you want a bar fridge that feels commercial rather than decorative. It holds 5.2 cubic feet, or about 62 cans plus 16 wine bottles, at 33 to 48°F, and Perlick backs it with 3 years of parts and labor if you register within 90 days. AJ Madison lists it at about $4,920. It's single-zone and not cheap, but the build and warranty justify the premium for heavy entertainers.

The Perlick Signature Series 24-inch Refrigerator Drawers (HP24RS-4-5) are the commercial-grade choice for undercounter refrigeration, and the capacity winner. One dealer lists them at $5,386, with the lockable HP24RS-4-5DL at $5,700. You get 5.2 cu ft across two all-stainless drawers on full-extension ball-bearing glides, a stated 33 to 42°F range, room for 144 cans and a variable-speed compressor. Register within 90 days and the warranty is 3 years parts and labor. The trade-off is fewer smart features than Sub-Zero.
Questions about Perlick
Is Perlick better than Sub-Zero for undercounter refrigeration?
They suit different buyers. Perlick's Signature drawers offer more listed capacity (5.2 cu ft versus Sub-Zero's 4.0) and an all-stainless interior, with a 3-year warranty when registered. Sub-Zero adds panel-ready integration and app connectivity. Our editorial ratings, estimated from specs rather than tests, score both a 5 for performance.
What warranty does Perlick offer?
Perlick's residential warranty is 3 years parts and labor if you register within 90 days, or 2 years if you don't. Sealed-system parts are covered to 6 years on undercounter units and 12 on uprights. Register right after installation so you get the longer coverage.
Can a Perlick beverage center hold wine?
Yes. The Signature 24-inch beverage center has two full-extension wine racks for 16 bottles plus a general shelf, and runs from 33 to 48°F. For long-term aging at precise temperatures, a dedicated wine refrigerator is the better tool; see our wine hub for options.
